I'll second the dream setup comment. The privacy in the rear shop is great. With a tall fence you wouldn't even know it's there! Now don't tell us you have a tunnel between all three, that would be too much.

I'll get the first "You ****" in. Still waiting to find one similar locally.

The bed liner spray from HD is not heavily textured. Wrinkle paint may be an option too, but it has more texture then the bed liner spray.

Seeing you have a few Rock Island vises around, do you have any info on the company or a link to some info on them? I'm trying to find out when my 574 was made. I found some casting number while cleaning it up and would like to find out what they mean. TIA

Hey guys, I just picked up a Rock Island 574 and it looks like the swivel lock is seized. It has been soaking in pb blaster for a full day and will see if it comes loose tonight. Sounds dumb, but I just want to make sure I'm trying to turn it the right way haha. Lefty loosey right.. - Rod

www.jwwinco.com has some too. I like their weldable hinges.

I think your shop is bigger then my house. This table sounds pretty ultimate so far.

That looks ****. I've been wanting to do this to one of my benches. Just worried about strength. Does it have plywood underneath or is it thick enough to standalone?

I figure ill be at 1,000 lbs. fully loaded so with 6 feet @ 500 lbs = 3,000 lbs. max load I'll be at 30% of max. Journaler: You can find them here: http://www.jwwinco.com/products/section7/index.html Bad_Idea: I'd venture to go the opposite route with 1/4' lip around the tube to leave room...

cwneal: Clean table you have there. How do you like those levelers? I was looking at those, but went with the rattle mount levelers since I will have 6 levelers/feet for an 8' bench. Rod

Kazlx: Have any updates on the table? I like the idea of integrating air and power into the table. Rod

Possibly for getting fresh air to the motor instead of dirty air with metal particles..

Rated ///M: Seems like a good price for the stainless considering you have about 12-14 feet of bench? Will it have a backsplash and front lip?

44: This whole thread is a must read. Great looking robot welds! I hope to get there one day after I refine my MIG skills. Reading through GJ I see so many nice shops that look like a million dollars and have more machinery then one really needs, but they are missing the raw skill, soulful...

Not an electrician, but I would think a 15/20 amp GFI plug could add some safety if connected to a 30 amp circuit.
